Back-to School Shopping Spree - August 7th

The annual Golden Salvation Army "Back-to-School Shopping Spree" takes place Thursday, August 7, at the Colorado Mills Target. This special event benefits Golden elementary school students who are identified by the schools as being in need. We are expecting 80 children this year and are busy preparing school backpacks filled with school supplies!

There are two ways to participate and make a real difference in a child's life:

•Assist a child with shopping as a CHAPERONE. Use this link to sign up to chaperone: SIGN UP

SPONSOR a child by donating $100 towards the purchase of back-to-school clothing and shoes. You may sponsor more than one child and any amount given is welcome! Just write a check to Calvary Church with "SA Shopping Spree" on the memo line OR use this link to give online: GIVE

This is wonderful way to get kids off to a good start for the school year and it's a lot of fun!

Ongoing Opportunities

Calvary Food Shelf (Open 10-3, M-Th)

Items are typically brought to the weekend services, or to the office during the week. If you’d like to provide financial support, which is always welcome, you can mail a check to the Calvary office, made out to the Golden Rescue Fund (note: CFS) or give online through the Calvary Church website.

Calvary’s Refugee Ministry (HOME Team)

Calvary’s HOME Team welcomed the Qaderi Family from Afghanistan in February 2022 and the Abduljabbar Family from Iraq in May 2023. The Qaderi Family is a family of six living in Thornton, with four small children. The Abduljabbar Family is a family of three with a single mom and two sons situated in Lakewood. Both families enjoy meeting new people and would love to practice their English. If you would like to come alongside either of these families, or help with apartment set-up for new families coming to the Denver area, contact Carol Rose at zzzzcarol@aol.com or Shannon Campbell at shannon@calvarygolden.net

Saint Francis Center Sunday

St. Francis Center (SFC) is a transformation hub for men and women who are homeless in the metro Denver area. It is a day shelter providing a myriad of services that enable people to meet their basic needs and to transition out of homelessness. Calvary coordinates volunteers to serve at this shelter during the week, and on the 4th Sunday morning of each month. If you are interested, please contact Kathie Gerwig atkdgedg2@gmail.com

Sharing the Table

Sharing the Table is a community partnership meant to build community support and friendship around the unsheltered in Golden. If you would like to join the community meal and help prepare food, contact Vanessa Hayes vanessa.wharton@gmail.com or Shannon Campbell shannon@calvarygolden.net  

The Sharing the Table partnership is the new focus for the Calvary SOS (Safe Outdoor Space) Team. The SOS team is moving from serving meals to Safe Outdoor Space residents in Denver to partnering with the Golden United Methodist Church to serve meals to the unsheltered in Golden (which includes these Sharing the Table events). Let Vanessa or Shannon know if you'd like to join in on these wonderful opportunities.

Recent Events

Be a Tool

Calvary families and individuals partnered with Be a Tool and the Together Church of Golden for a wonderful day of hands-on support with local Golden residents in need! What a fun day it was! The teams worked at 5 different houses and completed all the needs given to us. It was a great time of fellowship and getting our hands in the mud and paint! We can't wait to invite our Calvary family into this wonderful work again next year.
